The "Five" women's clothing flagship store is doing very well, and Jiang Xiaoli and her friends discussed going to check out other stores.
Hu Jingxin stayed at the flagship store, Jiang Xiaoli took Ren Zhiyi to another store, Chang Yue and Yan Chengcheng went to another store, and Zong Jia and He Dafu acted as drivers.
At noon, the group gathered at "Guizhi Restaurant," where Li Guizhi had prepared a delicious meal for them in advance.
Jiang Xiaoli went to the kitchen to greet her mother. Li Guizhi saw her and asked, "How's business today?"
She patted her chest proudly, "Mom, how could the business of a shop opened by your daughter be bad?"
Li Guizhi kept cooking with her hands, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, you're the best! Go eat with your friends, and tell me if you need more food."
The girls in the private room were excitedly discussing the business situation of "Five" women's clothing store's opening today.
Yan Chengcheng and Chang Changyue took turns describing how popular the store they went to was.
"We almost had to stay at the store as waiters, we were just too busy!"
Ren Zhiyi nodded, "The store that Xiaoli and I went to was the same. We did a good job in the preliminary work and attracted a large number of targeted customers early on."
Today, sales at "Five" women's clothing were excellent; basically, half of every ten customers who entered the store made a purchase.
Hu Jingxin raised her hand with a smile, "Our flagship store's sales have exceeded [amount] yuan by noon today!"
Jiang Xiaoli raised her drink glass, "Our '307' brand's first women's clothing brand, 'Five,' sets sail today. Today's achievements are just the beginning. We hope our business will continue to thrive and we can open even more branches!"
The group clinked glasses together and said in unison, "May we all get better and better!"
Zhong Yuan suggested, "Little Pear, why don't you take some time to make some men's clothes too, besides women's clothes? Give us a chance to spend money!"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and nodded, "Since you've made this request, I'll consider it once 'Five' women's clothing is on track."
After the meal, Jiang Xiaoli instructed Yan Chengcheng, "Pay attention to the clothing inventory in the store and report it promptly."
Yan Chengcheng nodded, "Xiao Li, don't worry, we have enough stock. I've also been in contact with Deputy Factory Director Lü. They don't have any other orders yet, so they'll be very happy if we place an additional order."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Chengcheng, if there's any other news from the First Garment Factory, please keep an eye out and let me know."
Yan Chengcheng understood what she meant. "I know."
In the afternoon, the others continued to sit and chat at a coffee shop not far from the clothing store, reluctant to leave.
Jiang Xiaoli brought Zong Jia to the hotel to meet Xiao Jincheng.
When Xiao Jincheng brought the first two pages of the CNC machine tool drawings to the First Machine Tool Factory this Monday, the old factory director was so excited that his hands were shaking.
They spent four days studying just the first two drawings.
They finally relented on Friday and agreed to sell the land on the factory site to them.
Xiao Jincheng smiled and told Jiang Xiaoli about his final negotiation plan with the machine tool factory.
“Little Pear, the 1 million we spent on the blueprints wasn’t wasted. The machine tool factory agreed that as long as we hand over the complete blueprints, they are willing to sell the land to us at a price lower than the market price.”
Jiang Xiaoli smiled as she sipped her coffee. "Uncle Xiao, you can start preparing for the bidding process for the architectural design proposal."
Xiao Jincheng took a sip of tea and said slowly, "It feels like just yesterday we were bidding for the 'Jinghua Commercial Plaza' project. Time really flies!"
She smiled and said, "A fulfilling life makes the days seem to pass quickly. If life is full of hardship, then every day will be difficult to endure."
Xiao Jincheng laughed heartily, "That's right! I feel more and more motivated now!"
Jiang Xiaoli thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Xiao, the investment in this piece of land in Kyoto will be huge. Can the company keep up with the funding?"
Xiao Jincheng waved his hand, "Don't worry about that. 'Jincheng Real Estate' doesn't have a single penny of debt to date. Banks are practically begging me to lend them money! Once the land issue is settled, I'll talk to the banks. Our company's cash reserves plus the bank loan should be enough to cover everything."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and nodded, "That's fine, Uncle Xiao. If you need any additional investment, just let me know. I have some money here."
"Hahaha." Xiao Jincheng looked at her and said, "Little Pear, aren't you being modest? 'Jiang Li Ji' is making quite a bit of money every year now. Once your branch factory in Kyoto is built and put into operation, the company's scale will expand even more."
She chuckled, "Uncle Xiao, please don't make fun of me. I earn my money through hard work, selling spicy strips one by one."
Hearing her words, Xiao Jincheng and Zong Jiayu both laughed.
Since hearing that Zong Jiayu had given 30% of the company's shares to Jiang Xiaoli, Xiao Jincheng's attitude towards him has improved considerably.
He said to Jiang Xiaoli, "Look at what you're saying, even Xiao Zong is laughing!"
He knew all too well that Jiang Xiaoli's spicy snack business was initially a collaboration with Zong Jia.
Later, Zong Jiayu was in charge of managing the food factory. She was just a hands-off manager who would occasionally offer suggestions.
If you're talking about hard work, it's probably just mentally taxing; there's absolutely no physical exertion involved.
Jiang Xiaoli shrugged. "Uncle Xiao, mental labor creates greater value. Can't anyone do physical labor?"
Xiao Jincheng nodded in agreement, "I agree with what you said. By the way, I've been struggling with something lately and can't figure out what to do."
Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow, "Are there any things you can't decide on?"
Xiao Jincheng put down his teacup. "It's Xue Bin. He told me he wanted to go to school to study architectural design systematically. I really like this young man, Xue Bin, and I'm a little reluctant to let him go."
She analyzed, "Brother Xue is very talented, but you can't force him to stay. He told you in advance that he wanted to pursue further studies, which shows he was considerate of your feelings. Why don't you just do a good deed and sponsor him to complete his studies? Who knows, Brother Xue might even come back to Jincheng Real Estate to continue helping you after graduation."
Xiao Jincheng sighed, "That's all we can do. It wouldn't be good if we kept him around and he ended up becoming enemies. I also hope he can have a better future, but in the end, I just can't bear to let him go."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled, "Uncle Xiao, 'Jiang Li Ji' has reached a school-enterprise cooperation agreement with our school. Once we get the land for the machine tool factory and 'Jincheng Real Estate' has established a foothold in Kyoto, you can follow my example and operate just like I have. Are you still worried about not having enough talent to use?"
Xiao Jincheng immediately became interested. "Little Pear, tell me, how exactly does this school-enterprise cooperation work? What are the conditions for cooperation? What do I need to do?"
